Why we need blog?

 Isn’t it interesting that some of the most significant ‘revolutions’ of the last twenty years have all had to do with writing? How retro is that? First we had email, then web pages, then mobile phone texting, and now blogs. All this reflects a trend whereby the world is becoming more formal in how it communicates. Instead of body language and endless conversations, communication has shifted towards endless words on a screen.

 Bloggers are people with attitude. They say there’s a book inside everybody. Well, the Web and blogs have let the book out! There has literally been an explosion of opinion. Traditionally, public relations were about honing a silvery message that communicated exactly what the organization wanted us to hear. Now, we can hear all sorts of voices on the subject. It’s true democracy at work. The advantages of blogs that I can see are we can share knowledge within organization and with the outside world. Besides, blogs can be a positive way of getting feedback regarding one particular thing that we post or discuss in our blog…Thus, here I am, writing in my blog to share and seek for knowledge particularly knowledge about the use of technology in ESL classroom…
